The transformation rule \((x,y) \to (-x,-y)\) reflects the point across the origin. This is equivalent to rotating the point 180 degrees around the origin.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. it will be rotated 180 degrees.
(x,y)-(-x,-y)
A. it will be dilated to become smaller
B. It will be rotated 180 degrees
C. it will be translated up to the right
D. it will be translated down to the left
